I think it was a significant victory and, realistically, I think Obama can expect a bit of a boost out of it. The question is, will it be enough to jump start something bigger. As we saw in the 2008 campaign, Obama is at his best when he has developed some momentum. If he can turn this into momentum, he’ll be harder to beat.

I’m not seeing it. The guy did one thing right in 2 1/2 years. That doesn’t wipe out all the “aw shxts” he’s got with the biggies being, massive national debt, obamacare, gas prices doubling + , high food prices and going higher and high unemployment.

BO is the all time worst president and he achieved that in record time.

The man over all is a coward. He had really no choice before him. Think about it.

He’s told that we know the whereabouts of Bin Laden. The guy has a dozen or so meetings about it. Each meeting there is risk of a leak.

Finally, he’s faced with two choices, (not three which would be to do nothing). Either kill Bin Laden with a drone or with an ambush.

He chooses the ambush, because just about everyone in the room recommends it.

This time the good guys came out on top. It could have gone bad, e.g. if the Pakistani military had attacked. In fact, were they at all part of this operation?

When I woke up yesterday and heard the news about OBL, I had an uptick in approval for Obama. That lasted until I stopped for 4$+/gal gas, on my way to work at a job that hasn't seen a raise in 4 yrs. I'm sure more momentum will be lost when I go to the grocery store later. So I doubt my 2012 vote will be heavily influenced by the fact that OBL now hangs out with Spongebob.
